Out on the sea away from Tortuga's marina.
The "Black Pearl" sailed under the moonlit sky.
She cleaves the dark waves, her sails are like shadows, and the only light on the deck is the moonlight that casts through the clouds.
Above the stern, candle-lit portholes lined the ship, and below them reflected an eerie glow on the water.
Elizabeth Swan was locked in the cabin. She was wearing a nightgown and a coat, staring blankly at the flickering candles that filled the room. Only her eyes revealed her uneasiness and fatigue.
She didn't expect that when she lied to Barbossa and proposed that her surname was Turner, it would pull her into a situation beyond redemption.
Will Turner is the person Barbossa is looking for. Although Elizabeth is carrying the last Aztec gold coin that needs to be returned to its original place, she is not the one who needs blood.
The person who stole the gold coin was Wil Turner's father, Bill Turner, and Bill Turner is dead. Now only with Wil Turner's blood to pay back, can the curse of all the living dead be lifted.
Elizabeth's stupid behavior made her a scapegoat for Will Turner.
"boom!"
The cabin door was pushed open suddenly, and two pirates rushed in, and said to Elizabeth aggressively:
"You will have dinner with the captain."
Elizabeth raised her chin: "Go and tell the captain, I am not willing to obey his request."
The two pirates suddenly laughed, showing their dirty and rotten teeth.
"The captain said either you eat with him in the cabin, or you eat with the crew and you don't have any clothes on."
Elizabeth's pupils were shocked, so she had to choose the former.
Ten minutes later, Elizabeth fled out of the captain's cabin in a panic again.
Just now, she learned a terrible secret from Barbossa, the secret about the pirate gold coins that she always carried with her.
A curse from the living dead.
"I don't believe in ghost stories! Captain Barbossa!"
Although she didn't want to believe it, Elizabeth still rushed out of the cabin in fear and ran to the main deck.
But in the next second, what she saw made her scream.
Where the human crew should have been, a skeletal crew was busy scrubbing the deck and coiling the cables.
Their skeletons were pale blue in the moonlight, and their bodies were draped in tattered clothes.
Elizabeth yelled loudly, trying to turn and run away.
But she fell and fell on a large loading and unloading blanket.
The skeletons then pulled up the blanket beneath her, and she was thrown high into the air.
She fell, only to be caught by another skeleton dangling from the ropes of the mast.
The terrified Elizabeth screamed again as she landed on the deck.
Meanwhile, the skeletons continue to work on the ship, seemingly unaffected by her odd behavior.
This scene is too scary!
Elizabeth just wanted to escape, she ran and hid under the stairs, before she could catch her breath, she couldn't help screaming.
Barbossa's monkey!
It's also a skeleton!
Elizabeth jumped to her feet and ran toward the captain's cabin instead, but Barbossa was waiting for her in the shadows.
Barbossa grabbed her and pulled her closer. "Look!"
"Moonlight reveals us! We can't die!"
He laughed and pushed Elizabeth into the moonlight.
As he walked forward, moonlight touched his arm, and Elizabeth watched in disbelief as Barbossa's muscles turned to bone!
"You'd better start believing in ghost stories," Barbossa said with a laugh.
Fully exposed to the moonlight, his face became a grinning skull.
"You're in it."
......
Tortuga.
"This is much more interesting than the story of the Black Pearl and Jack Sparrow!"
"But... Possessing deep-sea opal brings wealth, power and fame, and those who steal it or those who try to steal it will be cursed forever. How does this statement seem familiar?"
"Isn't this exactly the same legend as the Aztec gold coin curse?"
"Whatever, I'm satisfied with this story, it's worth the price of a glass of wine." Finally, an audience member said, "But where did you hear this story?"
The yellow-haired arm clasped his thumb and swung back, vowing: "When I was herding sheep in Havana, I heard it from an old Chinese sailor, and the people there said he was from Singapore."
"Chinese sailor?" Someone squinted and muttered, "Is it similar to that guy over there?"
As soon as the words fell, several pirates who were listening to the story put down their wine glasses one after another, and looked in Chen Feng's direction.
It wasn't until this time that people in the tavern gradually began to notice Chen Feng.
Most of these people looked at Chen Feng with disdain.
Although Chen Feng's 10% body fat rate is astonishing, and after being injected with super soldier serum, his body appearance is even more perfect, but in terms of body shape, he does not have the innate advantages of Caribbean whites and black ghosts.
Moreover, Chinese pirates have always been ignored and looked down upon in the group of pirates.
Although the Chinese are smart and thin and light, they usually play roles such as pilots or cooks on ships.
The boarding battle has always been shivering at the back.
There are not a few cowards and those who play with the wind.
Therefore, it is common sense in the pirate circle that Chinese pirates are not good at fighting.
"I'll meet him," said a black drinker.
